FANS calling for David Moyes’s head last week need to get real about the current financial state the club is in.

In August, when Yakubu, Beckford and Arteta were sold, a top eight finish with a good cup run was more than what was asked of the manager.

Remember 2002 when we were doing cartwheels at the thought of staying in the league and thoughts of top six finishes, European football and FA Cup finals were a distant dream?

If someone would have offered you all that on a net spend of £3m a year over the next 10 years there wouldn’t be a single Blues’ fan who would have argued.

Moyes has made several mistakes but which manager hasn’t? The root of our problems lie firmly above the manager, who, if they don’t pull their finger out this summer, some Evertonians may get what they want.

Everton FC juror Lee Molton: A strike partner for Nikica Jelavic would be great

IT has been a good few games for the Blues with the goals coming thick and fast.

Jelavic has raced away to 10 goals for the season in just a couple of months.

It is so good to have a top class goal-scorer to rely on; it would be great if we could play a partner alongside him, but David Moyes won’t play two up front!

The Fulham game was very good with great displays from Jelavic, Fellaini, Pienaar and Howard too.

At Stoke, Jelavic was often isolated up front. We do need to get support for him and Fellaini is the best player for that.

The Stoke fans must still have stiff necks from watching the ball in the air so much; they may be effective but it is not enjoyable to watch.

It would be good to end the season with two wins to keep our seventh place in the Premier League. We can do it!

Everton FC juror David Wallbank: How different would Everton FC’s season have been if Nikica Jelavic had been at Goodison Park at the start of the seaon?

THE Toffeemen have again displayed grit and determination in recent weeks, and collecting four points from six against Fulham and Stoke is very much in the realms of respectability.

With two games to play and the battle for seventh place Everton’s only real motivation.

Nikica Jelavic deserves special praise for his impact since arriving on Merseyside; how different would our season have been if he’d signed at the start of the season?

Jelavic isn’t blessed with great pace, nor is he over-complicated on the ball.

But he has an outstanding ability to score goals with precise one-touch finishing.

Wolves, next up on Sunday, are a real old fashioned English side with lots of history drenched both in glory and failure. I am sure they can bounce back at the first time of asking.
